The blend

How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Calypso, blue is Allegro. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work

Notes in commonBoth list rose and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadFresh spicy, powdery, aromatic and woody run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Calypso in fall and Allegro in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Calypso is moderate on both, Allegro long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
